Q. How do I create a company directory from a select list of my members?A. You can display public profiles... this is ideal for company directories, or any other situation where you want to share select member's names, photos, and bios with the non-registered public.
The public profiles are a little different where they show the larger photo and full bio, with no other info. See and example here:
http://www.evcast.com/members/evcast+memberspublic+Your%20Hosts+Bo.Ryan
To create these, it is a two step process:
1) for privacy, the member MUST edit his or her profile and select the new "allow my name,photo, and bio to be public" option. This is in the first section of the edit profile screen.
2) Now you can construct the URL that will display the members. Here is the format:
http://YOURDOMAIN/members/YOURFOLDER+memberspublic+ANY_NAME_FOR _SELECTED_MEMBERS+member1.member2.member3
broken down:
http://YOURDOMAIN/members/YOURFOLDER
simply your display URL for your igroops home page
+memberspublic
the part of the URL that activates this listing. This does not change
+ANY_NAME_FOR _SELECTED_MEMBERS
this can be any name you want to use as the display name for the selection of members you are displaying such as "Staff" or "Our Company". Hint: if using spaces, substitute the spaces with "%20" - the URL equivalent to a space. So "Our Company" would look like "Our%20Company" in the URL.
+member1.member2.member3
This is simply your list of member nicknames separated by a single period. You can have as many as you like.
